The Club have been prepared to encourage the use of the Denton Travel Services minibus for Club events by subsidising fares as minibuses leave a significantly lower carbon footprint per passenger than any other form of public transport. However in 2024, two events had to be cancelled as a result of a lack of bookings with the remaining six events going ahead but requiring a total subsedy of £410 out of Club funds.

Great Langdale [Saturday 7th June 8am - 9pm] Six Minibus Seats Available - the mighty Bow Fell ranks high in many fell-walkers' esteem and is rooted in Great Langdale, from where its peaked summit has all the air of an emperor's throne, set high above a defending fringe of impressive buttresses and distanced by the long tongue of The Band. When combined with the highly individual peaks of Crinkle Crags, this offers a classic Lakeland ridge walk which has all of the ingredients required for a thoroughly rewarding day on the fells. The suggested 9½-mile [BLACK] anti-clockwise circuit of Oxendale (with 3280ft of ascent), visits the summits of Bowfell, Crinkle Crags & Great Knott. Keen walkers may choose to mop up Pike of Blisco as an added bonus.

Honister Pass [Saturday 5th July 8am - 9pm] Twelve Minibus Seats Available. Great Gable is a mountain of national repute, whose mighty defences issue a stark challenge to which all self-respecting fell walkers cannot but respond. The name itself conjures up an image of solidity and strength, which a close encounter does nought to dispel. Beyond Grey Knotts, the huge arched dome dwarfs all surrounding fells, which become mere stepping stones in its ultimate conquest. Even Green Gable, a worthy fell in its own right, has to bow to the grand master holding court across the knife edge of Windy Gap. The mountain is very much the guardian of Wasdale. To climb Gable is to pit yourself against the essence of Lakeland’s alpine heritage, which has irresistibly drawn the cream of the nation’s hard hats for more than a century. Their abiding respect is commemorated by a metal plaque erected by members of the Fell and Rock-Climbing Club as a lasting tribute to those who gave their lives during World War Two. The suggested 8.1-mile [BLACK] linear walk from Honister Pass (with 2188ft of ascent) visits the summits of Brandreth (2344ft), Green Gable (2603ft) & Great Gable (2949ft) before descending via Styhead Tarn to Seatoller. The suggested 7.1-mile [RED] linear walk from Honister Pass (with 1617ft of ascent) visits the summits of High Spy (2143ft), Maiden Moor (1890ft) & Cat Bells (1481) before descending to Grange.  A Denton Travel Services minibus will be used for this event.

Martindale [Saturday 6th September 8am - 9pm] ? Minibus BOOKINGS OPEN on 6th July. Martindale - is one of those little-known Lakeland valleys which although hidden from general view provides a quiet fell-walking experience in truly beautiful surroundings.

Its popularity is therefore reserved for very discriminating members.
